Chapter 24
KJV · Textus Receptus
AndJoshuagathered all thetribes ofIsrael toShechem, andcalled for theelders ofIsrael, and for theirheads, and for theirjudges, and for theirofficers; and theypresented themselvesbefore God.
2 AndJoshuasaid unto all thepeople, Thussaith theLORDGod ofIsrael, Yourfathersdwelt on the otherside of theflood in oldtime, evenTerah, thefather ofAbraham, and thefather ofNachor: and theyservedother gods.
3 And Itook yourfatherAbraham from the otherside of theflood, andled him throughout all theland ofCanaan, andmultiplied hisseed, andgave him Isaac.
4 And Igave untoIsaacJacob andEsau: and Igave untoEsaumountSeir, topossess it; butJacob and hischildren wentdown into Egypt.
5 IsentMoses also andAaron, and IplaguedEgypt, according to thatwhich Ididamong them: andafterward I brought you out.
6 And Ibrought yourfathers out ofEgypt: and yecame unto thesea; and theEgyptianspursuedafter yourfathers withchariots andhorsemen unto theRed sea.
7 And when theycried unto theLORD, heputdarkness between you and theEgyptians, andbrought thesea upon them, andcovered them; and youreyes haveseen what I havedone inEgypt: and yedwelt in thewilderness along season.
8 And Ibrought you into theland of theAmorites, whichdwelt on the othersideJordan; and theyfought with you: and Igave them into yourhand, that ye mightpossess theirland; and Idestroyed them from before you.
10 But Iwould nothearken untoBalaam; therefore heblessed youstill: so Idelivered you out of his hand.
11 And ye wentoverJordan, andcame untoJericho: and themen ofJerichofought against you, theAmorites, and thePerizzites, and theCanaanites, and theHittites, and theGirgashites, theHivites, and theJebusites; and Idelivered them into your hand.
12 And Isent thehornetbefore you, which drave themout frombefore you, even thetwokings of theAmorites; but not with thysword, nor with thy bow.
13 And I havegiven you aland for which ye did notlabour, andcities which yebuilt not, and yedwell in them; of thevineyards andoliveyards which yeplanted not do ye eat.
14 Now thereforefear theLORD, andserve him insincerity and intruth: and putaway thegods which yourfathersserved on the otherside of theflood, and inEgypt; andserve ye the LORD.
15 And if it seemevil untoyou toserve theLORD,choose you thisdaywhom ye willserve; whether thegods which yourfathersserved that were on the otherside of theflood, or thegods of theAmorites, in whoseland yedwell: but as for me and myhouse, we willserve the LORD.
16 And thepeopleanswered andsaid, Godforbid that we shouldforsake theLORD, toserveother gods;
17 For theLORD ourGod, he it is that brought usup and ourfathers out of theland ofEgypt, from thehouse ofbondage, and whichdid thosegreatsigns in oursight, andpreserved us in all theway wherein wewent, and among all thepeoplethrough whom we passed:
18 And theLORD draveout frombefore us all thepeople, even theAmorites whichdwelt in theland: therefore will we alsoserve theLORD; for he is our God.
19 AndJoshuasaid unto thepeople, Yecannotserve theLORD: for he is anholyGod; he is ajealousGod; he will notforgive yourtransgressions nor your sins.
20 If yeforsake theLORD, andservestrangegods, then he willturn and do youhurt, andconsume you,after that he hath done you good.
21 And thepeoplesaid untoJoshua, Nay; but we willserve the LORD.
22 AndJoshuasaid unto thepeople, Ye arewitnesses against yourselves that ye havechosen you theLORD, toserve him. And theysaid, We are witnesses.
23 Now therefore putaway, said he, thestrangegods which areamong you, andincline yourheart unto theLORDGod of Israel.
24 And thepeoplesaid untoJoshua, TheLORD ourGod will weserve, and hisvoice will we obey.
25 SoJoshuamade acovenant with thepeople thatday, andset them astatute and anordinance in Shechem.
26 AndJoshuawrote thesewords in thebook of thelaw ofGod, andtook agreatstone, and set itup there under anoak, that was by thesanctuary of the LORD.
27 AndJoshuasaid unto all thepeople, Behold, thisstone shall be awitness unto us; for it hathheard all thewords of theLORD which hespake unto us: it shall be therefore awitness unto you, lest yedeny your God.
28 SoJoshua let thepeopledepart, everyman unto his inheritance.
29 And it came to passafter thesethings, thatJoshua theson ofNun, theservant of theLORD,died, being anhundred andtenyears old.
30 And theyburied him in theborder of hisinheritance inTimnathserah, which is inmountEphraim, on the northside of thehill of Gaash.
31 AndIsraelserved theLORD all thedays ofJoshua, and all thedays of theelders thatoverlivedJoshua, and which hadknown all theworks of theLORD, that he haddone for Israel.
32 And thebones ofJoseph, which thechildren ofIsrael broughtup out ofEgypt,buried they inShechem, in aparcel ofground whichJacobbought of thesons ofHamor thefather ofShechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.
33And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill that pertained to Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
